  1. 305. Conception of the MedAustron Accelerator Complex and Present Status
    Dr Thomas Schreiner (MedAustron)
    11/02/2013, 14:00
    Talk
    MedAustron is a synchrotron based light-ion beam therapy centre for cancer treatment as well as for clinical and non-clinical research, currently in the construction phase. The accelerator design is based on the CERN-PIMMS study and its technical implementation by the Italian CNAO Foundation. Whilst the choice of basic machine parameters was driven by medical requirements, the accelerator...

  2. 293. Neutron detectors
    Mr Hartmut Abele (ATI)
    11/02/2013, 14:25
    Invited Talk
    We present new neutron detector concepts for ultra-cold, cold and fast neutrons. The developments are driven by the experimental needs: the next generation of neutron lifetime experiments require high rate capacities of 100 x 10^6 s^{-1}, gravity tests at short distances need a detector with a spatial resolution of a micron at low background, time of flight experiments require a time...

  3. 270. A Time Projection Chamber for High-Rate Experiments: Towards an Upgrade of the ALICE TPC
    Bernhard Ketzer (Technische Universitaet Muenchen (DE))
    11/02/2013, 15:15
    Talk
    A Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is a powerful detector for 3-dimensional tracking and particle identification for ultra-high multiplicity events. It is the central tracking device of many experiments, e.g. the ALICE experiment at CERN. The necessity of a switching electrostatic gate, which prevents ions produced in the amplification region of MWPCs from entering the drift volume, however,...

  4. 295. Recent developments in silicon detectors
    Gianluigi Casse (University of Liverpool (GB))
    11/02/2013, 16:15
    Invited Talk
    I will present a very brief history of silicon detectors in physics experiments culminating in the spectacular systems now delivering great physics in the CERN/LHC. An overview of the status of the present R&D towards future applications will follow.

  5. 13. DC-DC Powering for the CMS Pixel Upgrade
    Prof. Lutz Feld (Rheinisch-Westfaelische Tech. Hoch. (DE))
    11/02/2013, 17:05
    Talk
    The CMS experiment plans to replace the silicon pixel detector by a new one with improved rate capability and an additional detection layer at the end of 2016. In order to cope with the increased number of detector modules the new pixel detector will be powered via DC-DC converters close to the sensitive detector volume. This talk will review the DC-DC powering scheme and report on the ongoing...

  6. 98. LePix – a high resistivity, fully depleted monolithic pixel detector
    Dr Piero Giubilato (Università e INFN Padova)
    11/02/2013, 17:30
    Talk
    The LePix project explores monolithic pixel sensors fabricated in a 90nm CMOS technology for which more lightly doped substrates are available. This maintains the advantages usually offered by Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS), like a low input capacitance, having a single piece detector and using a standard CMOS production line, but offers charge collection by drift from a depleted...
